She said, “He came up to me and said, ‘I love you so much and I’m so happy to be with you now.'” Morrison continued, “It was almost as though it was a premonition of something. I didn’t think about it at the time but I thought, ‘How long has it been since we’ve had a conversation like that. It’s been years.'”
Hearing Matthew Perry’s heartfelt comments, Suzanne Morrison became a little suspicious. The actor’s mother assumes, that her son had a vague idea of something unfortunate happening. She said, “I think there was something… there was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him, and he felt it very strongly.” She continued, “But he said, ‘I’m not frightened anymore.’ And it worried me.”
At the end of the interview, Savannah Guthrie stated that she had “a powerful conversation” with the late actor’s family. “There’s so much pain and sorrow, but [they] also have a real sense of purpose about the work that he was doing, helping others get sober,” Guthrie added, “It was the purpose of his life, and so there’s some stuff to announce around that too.”
The full NBC interview will be released on October 28, 2024.
